Which timezone? Well, I'm ecstatic that GDT is visiting TORN; the LOTR films always succeeded because of the relationship with the fans (it was made by fans for fans, not just a movie project, but art)

"We must away ere break of day to find our long forgotten gold"

***We've been waiting for far too long for The Hobbit. Last LOTR we got was Fall 2004 with ROTK Extended Edition. So its been three and a half years.

But as soon as GDT is officially signed up, Weta will INSTANTLY start making new concept art and designs and EVERY DAY we'll be visiting TORN again to get lots of joy out of even the tiniest piece of news.

How will then handle so many Dwarves? Hobbit is more Dwarf-centric. Will the Great Eagles get a design overhaul? (They weren't a "Showcast creature" in LOTR so they didn't have the best of CGI) will the Eagles talk? Will we see the White Countil? Will we see Legolas? Will you cast David Bowie as King Thranduil? (He was up for Elrond but didn't get the part) what casting is being thought of? How will you do Beorn the Skin-Changer? What of the Old-Norse based Men of Dale? And SMAUG! How will Smaug the snarky evil dragon be realized?
